Show us your hair do's....
Bahahah I always loved Olivia Newton John's character! But maybe that because I'm also an Aussie and I thought it would be so cool to move to the U and go to school there *sigh* :P Grease is one of the reasons I LOVE vintage! I've not seen Dirty Dancing, but I did catch the sequel (which is...- Last_Chael

That's why I always check the finished measurements! It's amazing how much ease they put into a garment that is supposed to be quite fitted! I just finished one of the other Simplicity retro patterns, and they had added 4 inches too! I needed to go down a size to what I usually use!! But...- Last_Chael

To dye or not to dye
I will definitely post photos as soon as I find my camera cable!! I wanted to post photos the very evening I got it done (and washed out the hairdressers AWFUL attempt at curling), but my camera cable has gone walkies :( Though I might see if my other half can take some photos of my hair on his...- Last_Chael

To dye or not to dye
So after today, I'm even more convinced that blonde is not the way to go for me. I really do love the blonde wig on me, but I really do suit the dark hair better. Now that it's shorter, I can actually wear it out (before I'd always have at least the sides pinned up) so I have more hair around my...- Last_Chael

To dye or not to dye
Thanks Goldwyn girl! I just had my hair cut today actually! I'm going to take some time to get used to styling it, and then consider a colour. I had a bit of a chat to the hairdresser today, and she said that it would be difficult but doable. I just don't know if I'm quite ready to go that far...- Last_Chael

I hope this is ok to post, but here is the seller. You might have to do a search through to see if he has any more listed though. He actually has quite a few nice vintagey pieces at pretty reasonable prices. Though he is based in Australia, so keep that in mind :D- Last_Chael

Goldwyn Girl that is a most gorgeous dress! Woo! I finished my pencil skirt! :D I hope to wear it to work tomorrow, so I'll make sure my boy snaps a pic of me before I go to work so I can upload it. I hope to get a couple of dresses done today!- Last_Chael

I have the opposite problem! Right now it's the middle of winter, and FREEZING! (I just moved from a very warm state with no winter to the mountains in a very cold freezing state :P) and all I can think of is pretty cotton dresses! I actually had to go and buy some wool from work so I could make...- Last_Chael

So now that I'm working, I can finally afford a whole lot of things that I've been wanting for a while. So I went a bit crazy on Ebay... I swear it's addictive! Most recently I bought: This is the Australian Home Journal. It's a ladies mag that dates back to the 30's (I think, but possibly...- Last_Chael

To dye or not to dye
So I'm contemplating a BIIIIG change for my hair. In the past I've done it black; red black, blue black, even purple black. I've had bright red foils, and a bright red fringe. I've also done dark brown. But I'm itching for the two colours that I've always wanted but never been brave enough to...- Last_Chael

KamiKat that is gorgeous!! such a great colour for you :D Well I've bought some wools from work, plus I have some stash fabric, so tomorrow I'm spending the day cutting out! I don't think I'll get any actual sewing done, but at least it's one step closer! My next day off is Monday, so...- Last_Chael

Show us your hair do's....
Thanks Naama! I really do love the blonde, and I LOVE Marilyn! I'd be flattered to be thought of as her! I'll be talking to a hairdresser about doing it, but I know it will fry my hair. But that's also why I'm going to go short, so there's less of it to worry about! I'm hoping if I make sure I...- Last_Chael

So here is my latest do.... Hahaha ok I WISH my hair was really like that! That's my Marilyn wig, and boy did I get TONS of compliments when I wore it! It was a bit of a test for me, for style (as I want to cut my hair short so I can do more 50's styles) but now it's got me wanting to go...- Last_Chael

Women's hats are back?
I have never been able to wear the usual hats (I look awful in baseball caps!) but I've always managed to pull off the vintage hat look. Especially wide brimmed sunhats! I do hope this is true, because it would be nice to see more women wearing hats!- Last_Chael

Keeping Cool: Fans and Parasols
It's starting to become pretty common in Brisbane, though I would still sometimes get an odd look when I walked around with one. But with such fair skin in Brisbane weather (we don't really have winter in Brisbane, it's pretty much summer all year round with a bit of autumn; there's a reason...- Last_Chael
